From the Vault: Waugh's wonderful Ashes ton on debut

Making his debut in the Australian Test side at the expense of his twin brother Steve, a 25-year-old Mark Waugh made an immediate impact with 138 off 188 balls in his maiden innings of the fourth Ashes Test against England in January, 1991

[@bedabikasbarkakoty5741]

Mark Waugh made batting look ridiculously easy. He even looked elegant while fielding. He was a effortless cricketeer.

[@1499rock]

Who all were obsessed to buy that "V" slazenger bat in their childhood?

[@praveenjohn9098]

Me

[@aadithiyansd9419]

Yea that was my favourite

[@vincentlingeveldt2933]

Watching him bat was magical!

[@rondog540]

And looks like a splinter compared to the dried up logs that have come into vogue since Warner and T20s...just shows you it's not always the size that counts!!

[@pradnyashankardas6435]

Yes, my favourite too Sir viv, saurav in his debut test, kallis all his life, shaun pollock all his life, sunny gavaskar many a times, azaruddin in england used this bat

[@sagarsaxena6318]

When Mark Waugh arrived at the crease,score was 124/5 when he got out score was 295. So he scored 138 out of 171,that's more than 80% of the runs while he was at the crease! No wonder he's so well regarded. He could change the course of a match when on song.

[@arvindbaradwaj3783]

That too on a debut match 👏👏 .

[@SilentHotdog28]

Not to mention he made it look easy whenever he batted.

[@dsintheb]

It was also about WHO he scored runs against, and when. Against the teams for which Australia was jockeying for the #1 spot in the 90s (West Indies, South Africa, Pakistan) along with England (traditional), M Waugh averaged about 45 compared to his career average of 41. Steve Waugh averaged about 48 compared to a career average of 51. He was rightly regarded as the second most important batsman in the side.

[@hunter-lj9ot]

The most stylish batsman who made batting look so easy and elegant. His grace and flamboyancy matches likes of Lara and infact even better than him. Damien Martin , Gibbs and Azharuddin only come after him. Shane Warne once said "Junior makes batting so simple ".

[@akilkumar2538]

Everything was stylish about Mark Waugh, the way he used to bat & the way he used to take catches in the slip & loved the way he used bowl off spin 🙂.. The most stylish player ever to play the game of cricket ❤... Love from India 🇮🇳🙂

[@suryar9704]

4:56 it's the only time I saw mark Waugh removing his helmet to celebrate his ton. Usually he would just acknowledge the crowd by just rising his bat but I reckon since it's his debut he did like that. Such a elegant batsman with cool nature.

[@BulldogDynasty]

Greg Matthews seemed more excited than what he was lol

[@BulldogDynasty]

True story to this. NSW were playing a shield game in Sydney when the team was named. Mark Waugh couldn’t be contacted as he was with his parents. So they asked Steve Waugh to go tell him..... fancy being dropped and than go tell the bloke who’s replacing you. Never hear of it today. But shows the tough character of the entire Waugh family.

[@rondog540]

Man, I used to lust after Mark Waugh's V100 back when I was a kid...looks like an absolute splinter compared to bats of today 😯

[@md.akibimtiaz4033]

A Legendary innings by a Legendary player. Pure classy innings. 👌👌

[@juanestadian8471]

I always found it strange that of the most naturally gifted batsmen of the 90s, ( Mark Waugh, Carl Hooper, Mohammed Azharuddin, Saeed Anwar and Brian Charles Lara), only one truly fulfilled his enormous talent, and that is BCL, and even he underachieved (despite averaging 53).Azharuddin averages in the late 40s but we all know his average should have been in the 50s.. I don't know if the game came to easy for them

[@ravi1753-c6z]

Valid point. I agree!

Waugh and Anwar excelled in ODIs.
